Well a few comments on this, I work in the as a sales person for a large auto parts group about 20% is retail sales and 80% is wholesale. The higher volume customers pay the same as retail on some items like oils etc, and get a 2% to 15% discount from a retail customer. Biggest reason you dont see alot of prices on stuff is due to a few reasons. 1-Cost of pricing and keeping it priced when most stores run under staffed to stay profitable. 2-Prices change 1-3 times a year due to manafacture price increases, steel costs and promotions, sales etc. 3-If price tags are removed on those items a wholesale customers buys, many complain when retail price is the same or not much off of it (big issue). I can tell you that our management this year is taking away any bonus programs if the pricing is not 100% done and current this month. So we are catching up with the big retailers. Yes I agree 100% on how you feel about having to ask for a price or having to guess if you have enough in your pocket to purchase an item. You will soon see all the parts stores looking more like Auto Zone etc.
